    Gosh you know it never occurred to me to mark /t/popping snaps as NSFW, but I suspect that says more about my views on what counts as gore. Point taken, I will mark things accordingly from now on.

    I am, however, in total agreement with you about the foetus - totally unnecessary if not even pictured in the article. On the other hand, I don't think that the rescued dog incident can be considered in the same way as an aborted foetus. Animal rescue organisations habitually show the animals in distress (as well as once they have recovered) in an attempt to nudge the public consciousness. Sometimes people need to be repulsed.

    It also doesn't seem reasonable to remove phobia triggers across the board, but certain things like blood, vomit and dead bodies count as gore when they are displayed for the purposes of gratification, but not when they are shown as a result of war. There again those pictures are intended as a plea to our collective conscience.

    So, I think that stuff to do with humans, if posted for pleasure or out of a desire to shock should be classified NSFW. On the other hand stuff to do with animals, be it dogs or spiders, shouldn't.
